MKCG Medical College

MKCG Medical College in Berhampur, established in 1962, is southern Odisha's major government medical institution, drawing patients — and therefore clinical teaching material — from a large swathe of the state and neighbouring Andhra districts. The college and its attached hospital anchor public healthcare in the region, which translates into heavy, varied caseloads for students from early in the MBBS course; postgraduate medicine, surgery and nursing complete the offer. Admission is exclusively through NEET counselling at government fee levels. It holds an A grade from NAAC and a NIRF rank of 80. Berhampur is a modest coastal-belt city with low living costs. It suits NEET qualifiers, especially from Odisha, who want affordable government medical training with intensive patient exposure, and who can work within public-hospital infrastructure rather than private-sector comfort.
